The Only Player in ‘Child of Stardust’
Chapter 116 - 91: Super Blue My Dagger_2

Chapter 116: Chapter 91: Super Blue My Dagger_2

Ye Wan shook her head, clicking her tongue, "How crazy are you to let a crow help you unbox items."

"The Goddess wields authority in the domain of [Calamity]..."

"..." Zhou Yuan did not dare speak, fearing that Lady Raven would hear and make things difficult for him.

"Open!"

Ye Wan shouted, opening the item bag.

A flash of light.

A blue camouflage dagger appeared.

[Name: Ultra Blue My Dagger]

[Quality: Common]

[Special Effect: The blade is coated with potent poison. Otherwise, it’s an ordinary military dagger sprayed in blue camouflage.]

[Note: This dagger is coated with poison (licks)]

"..."

Zhou Yuan fell silent. What kind of ridiculous name is that?

Ye Wan quickly asked, "How about it?"

"Uh... This is a dagger coated with poison, named [Ultra Blue My Dagger]," Zhou Yuan explained.

"What a name..." Ye Wan gave Zhou Yuan a strange look, "Does your player system feel a bit unserious?"

"Come on, it’s what the designer put in. What does it have to do with me? If you have bad luck, don’t make excuses. Watch me do it."

Zhou Yuan put the dagger back into his backpack, then took out an ordinary quality skill scroll.

Open!

Another flash of light, a piece of parchment appeared with a soda can image on it.

[Skill Name: Feel Happy]

[Quality: Common]

[Special Effect: Select a container to generate 100ml of room temperature soda inside. You can choose to generate either Coca-Cola or Pepsi.]

[Note: You must touch the container when using this skill.]

[Consumption: 100 points of spirituality]

[Note: In the 35th century, human civilization entered the interstellar era, colonizing the entire solar system, spreading out to bring civilization to every reachable barren place.

Human civilization began to flourish and expand rapidly, venturing out of the solar system and into broader galaxies. However, one question always troubled everyone—Which tastes better, Coca-Cola or Pepsi?

Similar questions include: "Which is tastier, sweet or savory dumplings?" "Which tastes better, sweet tofu pudding, savory tofu pudding, or spicy tofu pudding?"]

Zhou Yuan raised an eyebrow. At first glance, this skill only generates soda, but on closer inspection, it seems to have other uses.

A container... the human body can be considered a container, right?

"What do you think?" Ye Wan asked curiously.

"This skill can generate 100ml of soda inside a container, either Coca-Cola or Pepsi."

"A container? Does the human body count?" Ye Wan quickly thought of this and pondered briefly, "Try generating 100ml of soda in my stomach."

"You must touch the container when using this skill," Zhou Yuan added.

"You’re the Saint Heir, touch away," Ye Wan said generously, without any apprehension.

Zhou Yuan didn’t hold back, placing his palm on her abdomen.

"By the way, I want Coca-Cola," Ye Wan requested.

Then you must have Pepsi.

Zhou Yuan activated the skill, but no spirituality points were consumed.

[Skill activation conditions not met, skill activation failed]

A red failure message popped up.

"It’s not working."

Zhou Yuan shook his head, then took out an empty cup from his backpack and activated the skill. This time, the skill succeeded, and black liquid slowly rose inside the container, bubbling.

He was slightly disappointed. Since it couldn’t work on the human body, the practical value of this skill dropped significantly.

However, it still had value. Soda contains sugar, providing a lot of energy for the body, making it a strategic resource. Historically, during World War II, soda was highly favored by the U.S. Army, considered essential like guns and bullets.

If he ever ran out of food resources on a mission, this skill would prevent him from starving quickly—many earthquake survivors have relied on a bottle of soda to stay alive.

Of course, this skill had one major flaw—The soda wasn’t chilled!

Ten minutes later, Zhou Yuan left the Holy Crow Church with a large bag of dark stones.

This large bag contained over forty high-grade dark stones, worth a fortune on the market, but in the Holy Crow Church, they were as common as cabbage.

Being specialized in the Shadow System, they naturally had no shortage of corresponding resources. The church was said to have dozens of super dark stone mines in the Spirit World, equivalent to wealthy oil tycoons in the Middle East.

Zhou Yuan roughly estimated that these dark stones would be enough for him to use up to Tier 3 or even Tier 4.

Riding a shared e-bike, the evening breeze brushed his face. In a daze, he felt a bit emotional. He never imagined that one day he would become the Saint Heir of the Holy Crow Church and be chosen by the Gods...

Hmm... It’s time to buy a car. Now, as someone of status, how could he not have a cool sports car? Zhou Yuan turned the shared e-bike’s throttle to maximum, considering going to check out cars tomorrow.

Should it be a Lamborghini or a Maserati?

The once-distant daydream was now within reach.

Just thinking about it made him a little excited.

[Don’t get too excited. Haven’t you noticed you’ve entered the Inner World?]

The Eyes of Identification suddenly popped up a prompt, startling Zhou Yuan. He slowly braked the e-bike and looked around. It was still the streets of Xinhu but eerily silent, with not a single car or person in sight.

The Inner World... Zhou Yuan’s expression became serious. He realized someone was here to ambush him.

Because of the recent live broadcast, the whole world now knew he was the Saint Heir of the Holy Crow Church. Someone would inevitably come for revenge. He just didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

Chen Guangxi had mentioned that while most people bore grudges against the Holy Crow Church, it usually only led to a scuffle when they met, not murder.

But the Holy Crow Church did have real enemies, so he couldn’t lower his guard.

[An event has been detected, generating a mission...]

[Mission Title: "Ambush at Night"]

[Mission Objective: Kill the ambushers: 0/3]

[Mission Reward 1: Experience Points*300]

[Mission Reward 2: Star Coins*1000]

Alright, now he was sure it was a blood feud.

But was the reward so meager?

Zhou Yuan felt a bit disappointed. This meant the opponents were small fry.

Actually, he had already sensed the positions of the three attackers.

Their concealment skills were excellent, blending into the environment like venomous snakes, waiting to strike. But Zhou Yuan’s perception ability was even stronger.

[A tip: All three are Tier 2 and belong to the same church as Yan Sheng, mortal enemies of the Holy Crow Church.]

"From the same church as Yan Sheng, huh..."

That explained a lot.

That church had been wiped out by the Holy Crow Church, and the survivors would naturally seek revenge against them. As the newly-appointed Saint Heir with only Tier 2 strength, he was the perfect target.

Just as Zhou Yuan braked and stopped, three fierce attacks came from the shadows, aiming for his vital points.

Swoosh!

Zhou Yuan disappeared on the spot, his figure on the shared e-bike turning into a demonic shadow—because he’d had contact with extraordinary beings, the shared e-bike was brought into the Inner World as well.

All three attacks missed, and the shared e-bike disintegrated with a loud crash, bursting into countless pieces, the battery catching fire.

"Damn, now I have to pay for that."

Zhou Yuan clicked his tongue, and with a thought, numerous muddy shadow tentacles emerged from the demonic shadow, binding the three figures tightly.

Then, squelch!

Countless hardened shadow spikes extended from the tentacles, instantly piercing the three figures into sieves, blood splattering everywhere.

[Killed Ambushers 3/3]

[Mission Complete]

[Mission Reward 1: Experience Points*300]

[Mission Reward 2: Star Coins*1000]

[Experience Points: 370/1100]

[Star Coins: 15100]

The mission was so simple that there wasn’t even a rating pop-up.

"Why did you have to come and ambush me? Isn’t living well enough?"

Zhou Yuan packed the three bodies into his backpack. Without maintainers, the Inner World quickly dissipated.

He reappeared on the street, and the burning wreckage of the shared e-bike vanished.

"So troublesome." Zhou Yuan scratched his head, pulled out his phone, and hailed a ride. He also reported the incident to the Control Bureau.
